1970 Topps #677 Woodie Fryman
About Woodie Fryman
Woodie Fryman started 35 games and struck out 150 in 228 1/3 innings for the 1969 Phillies. Card #677, from the seventh series of 1970 Topps, is a high number and pictures him with Philadelphia. In 1970 he moved toward the bullpen, starting 20 of his 27 games. He went 8-6 with a 4.09 ERA for a Phillies club that finished 73-88.
Woodie Fryman was a left-handed pitcher from Ewing, Kentucky, who grew up working his family's farm and turned down early bonus offers before signing with the Pirates in 1965. He debuted in 1966 and worked as both starter and reliever across 18 major league seasons for six clubs. An arthritic elbow diagnosed during his Philadelphia years never fully left him, yet he kept pitching into his forties, converting to a full-time reliever with Montreal late in his run. He made two All-Star teams and helped Detroit reach the 1972 ALCS and Montreal the 1981 NLCS. He finished with 141 wins, 58 saves and a 3.77 ERA. Gene Mauch said nobody in the business could throw any better, and teammate Larry Bowa once said hitting him was like trying to eat soup with a fork. He retired to his Kentucky farm and was later honored by the Montreal Expos Hall of Fame and the Kentucky Sports Hall of Fame.
